警惕Nokia S60V3平台短信息功能假死漏洞

According to this post at
F-Secure’s site (http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00001569.html), at the 25th Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, a
presentation titled ‘Security Nightmares 2009′ showed a demonstration
of a ‘Curse of Silence‘ exploit that reportedly affects S60 2nd Edition
phones, and even S60 3rd Edition, up to Feature Pack 1 (Feature Pack 2
phones are reportedly immune, as is S60 5th Edition). The exploit
apparently involves sending a specially formatted SMS to the recipient,
and renders the messaging capabilities of the phone completely useless.

This ‘attack’ cannot be achieved via an application, or over Bluetooth.
Only by receiving an SMS. With the Nokia N95, the attacker must send a
multitude of messages before the critical limit is reached, and the
user is presented with a ‘Not enough memory to receive message(s).
Delete some data first.’ and a blinking envelope in the top corner of
the screen.

If you get attacked with this, you’ll need to hard reset your phone.
You cannot use any backup/restore features, as that will reportedly
only restore the offending messages, recreating the problem.
